How difficult is it to change out the spark plugs in a Quest? I received an estimate for $270 to change the spark plugs and was wondering if this is something I should tackle. I've changed out spark plugs before in other vehicles, but there seems to be more steps involved with the Quest.

Thanks.

That's about right in terms of shop cost to do the job.

The intake manifold has to come off to change the rear bank of plugs.

Check youtube or the likes for Quest, Pathfiner or Marano VQ35DE sparkplug change.

I have the 2008 SE model. I WILL NEVER REPLACE MY OWN SPARK PLUGS EVER for this engine or any vehicle that has the VQ35DE engine. There's just too many parts to remove just to get access to the rear spark plugs.
